Mr Gollop sir, as a young teen in the UK, my friend and I must have easily sunk 200 hours into Laser Squad which is certainly in our all time top 3 games from our youth (along with Kick Off 2 and IK+).
Thank you !
Great show as always guys. Glad to hear that this is another great month for gaming.

Calculords is indeed free (ad supported) on the iPad. There are a number of in app purchases, one of which is $1.99 to remove the ads. The game is easily worth $1.99 so I bought that as soon as I downloaded it.

Dark Souls 2 definitely is shaping up to be more than a worthy successor to Dark Souls.

I have to say a hearty thanks to Certis and others on the podcast who have championed games like Dragon's Dogma and Dark Souls. I probably wouldn't have persisted with those games without the enthusiasm shown on the podcast and I've had literally hundreds of hours of incredible entertainment out of those games and others.

I was intrigued by the description of the original Chaos. Never having had a Spectrum computer, I have no familiarity with it, but it sounded like it had some shared ideas with Archon: Adept which I played on the C-64. In that game you also had Order vs Chaos and a balance between them, and you played a mage that summoned monsters to fight. I looked it up on Wikipedia and it looks like Archon: Adept predates Chaos by 1 year. Nothing against Mr. Gollop (I am a HUGE XCOM fan) but just curious how much cross-pollination there was there.

Strangely enough, I find TF2 and other FPS streams to be FAR more watchable than RTS games. Nothing bores me more than watching a League of Legends or Starcraft 2 game, but I'll never get bored of watching TF2 matches.
